Jukbyeon Lighthouse was the first lighthouse built in the Uljin area in November 1910. The structure of the lighthouse tower is a four-story octagonal concrete tower (height 15.6m), which narrows toward the top, creating a feeling of stability and vertical ascension. During the Korean War in June 1950, the lighthouse lost its function due to bombing, but the tower was repaired and restored in October 1951. In April 1970, a fog signal device (mute signal) was installed, allowing it to guide ships even in fog or storms. Built to guide ships navigating the East Sea coast, Jukbyeon Lighthouse serves as a regional landmark and preserves the modern cultural heritage that reflects the hardships and history of local fishermen. The lighthouse is well preserved, with harmonious wall lines and design elements that evoke a sense of stability and beauty. (Source: National Heritage Agency)
Jukbyeonhang Port is a fishing port in northern Uljin. The port is guarded by a 15.6 meter-tall lighthouse. The port is surrounded by restaurants serving seafood. In addition to squid, mackerel, and king crabs, seaweed is another specialty item of the region. There are many attractions nearby includng various beaches, a driving course, drama film set and more.
Jukbyeon Port, along with Hupo Port, is one of the major fishing ports on the East Coast located in the northern part of Uljin. It was designated as a national fishing port on December 29, 1995. It is especially known for abundant catches of squid, mackerel, saury, sandfish, and flatfish, and is famous as the largest snow crab fishing port in South Korea. Reflecting its large and varied seafood catches, many seafood processing factories line the area around Jukbyeon Port. Every November, the Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival is held, offering fresh seafood and a variety of entertainment. Events such as barehanded live fish catching are also held during the festival. Around Jukbyeon Port, there is a vast white sand beach extending from Deokcheon-ri Baeksajang to Hujeong-ri and Jukbyeon Lighthouse southward to Bongpyeong-ri and Onyang-ri. This entire white sand beach is sometimes called Bongpyeong Beach, stretching about 10 km. Nearby are filming locations for the drama and the variety show .
Looking down from behind the house to the cliff below, you can find Heart Beach, where the white waves breaking into small pieces form a continuous heart-shaped semicircular band. Perhaps because of this, the sea and rocks seen from afar feel more romantic than frightening or dizzying. Uljin's Heart Beach was also the filming location for the weekend special drama aired by SBS in 2004. Behind the drama's set is the heart-shaped beach.
